Puppies! (and a scarf)

The final in my series of animal inspired scarves is this
beautiful Weiner Puppy Neck Warmer by Randomheartxat Craftster.
After seeing this scarf, I was actually inspired to start making scarves for my
nieces. (I am including my modified pattern in the post.)

I love puppies and thought this was just cute!

However, I can rarely do something without adding my own
twist to it. And that’s just what I did. Though, my final scarf looked a little
like a mouse. The intended niece even asked me if it was a rat. I managed to
convince her that it was a puppy because of the collar!

I’ve largely followed Randomheartx’s pattern, but just added
a few more rows and changed stitches a little bit for texture.

My modified Puppy
Scarf

Craft: Crochet

Level: Beginner/Easy

Body detail

Materials:

2 skeins of brown 8-ply wool

A little bit of a contrasting colour for the collar

Buttons/safety eyes for the eyes, nose

5 mm crochet hook

Tapestry needle

Note: You can use
any weight of wool/yarn as you like. Local shops here do not really know the
different types and stock them mostly as 4-ply/8-ply etc. Luckily, the yarn I
got for it was the softest thing around and even though it was a little wide,
the scarf sat just beautifully around the neck.

Stitches/Abbreviations
used:

Stitch (st)

Single crochet (sc)

Double crochet (dc)

Decrease/Stitch together (2tog)

Fasten off (FO)

Gauge: Gauge is
not important in this pattern we can adjust the length of the feet accordingly
at the end. The length is determined by the number of rows that you crochet.
Decide for yourself what length you want your own scarf to be. Mine was about 4.5
feet (138cms).

Pattern

We start from the base of the face and continue in one piece
till the tail.
